Resource Conflict

I'm having a conflict with my USB controller and sound card after reformating my hard drive. I have updated drivers for my sound card, but my USB controller is not accepting its drivers.

Heres the deal, my sound card and the USB controller are trying to use IRQ5. I have a total of 5 USB controllers, the other 4 are using IRQ21. How do I seperate IRQ5?

All my usb ports work despite this one controller not having drivers installed. My sound card although does not work.

try pulling your sound card out and uninstalling all drivers for it. reboot a few times, then install the card back in, and let windows find it, and then install the drivers.

Should have mentioned it...the sound board is integrated into the MB, likewise with the USB. So I can't really remove/install any components. I have tried uninstalling them through Device Manager, with no luck either.

Pendragon on Sep 03, 2006

I'm in the market for a PDA, the Dell has been recommended to me. I'm also looking at the "lifedrive" and the Garmin Ique line. I'd like to cap it off at about $500 with accessories (extra life battery, hard case, etc). Any thoughts?Read More

Re-Mapping Keyboard

T

Timinindy on Sep 06, 2006

I was thinking in the past I was able to remap the keyboard with something that was built into Windows. Now, I couldn't seem to find anything built in, but I have found some freeware and a Microsoft add-on that will do it: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=FB7B3DCD-D4C1-4943-9C74-D8DF57EF19D7&displaylang=en Now that I work for a big corporation, I don't have administrative rights on my PC at work, so I can't just install software whenever I want to. I'm sure I could probably get the IT guys to allow it for me, but I'd rather do it without going through that. Even if I do add some type of utility, I'm not sure if I'll be able to do everything I want to. The first change I'd like to make shouldn't be a problem--I want to remap the - key on the number pad to be an extra tab key. I've done this before and it's very convenient when working in a lot of applications, as long as I'm not working in spreadsheets, which I won't be at work. The second one is the one that might not work. I'd like to make the `/~ key work like an (Alt + Tab) key. I am constantly using Alt + Tab to bounce back and forth between windows (or sessions). (What would be even more cool is some type of peripheral that I could tap with my foot to bounce back and forth.) The third thing I'd like to do is probably also impossible--I'd like to make the caps lock key work like a (Shift + F3), which is basically F15. I use this a lot and my function keys only go 1 thru 12. Any ideas?Read More
